Anssi Kasitonni

Anssi Kasitonni (*1978) is an artist, musician, filmmaker and a man in love with his work and craft, as well as with life itself. His films deal with age-old questions related to morality, love, death, generation gaps, sexuality and, of course, submarines. The ideas are epic, the films decidedly homespun. It’s a killer combination. Anssi’s films star all manner of creatures great and small: the artist himself, his wife Maria, one of Aki Kaurismäki’s favorite actors Markku Peltola and a pair of stuffed squirrels, one of whom has an eyepatch.
